About ORBIS America
ORBIS America is the North American subsidiary of ORBIS SE, a global SAP software and consulting firm headquartered in Germany, with 900 employees and 35+ years of international experience. ORBIS America has been implementing SAP for manufacturing companies across North America since 1999, helping mid-market manufacturers across the US, Canada, and Mexico modernize their operations — combining deep process expertise with our own SAP-integrated solutions for manufacturing, including mobile apps for warehouses and shop floors, product costing, MES integration, and intralogistics. We specialize in guiding companies through international rollouts (Germany-US-Canada-Mexico), RISE with SAP journeys, and application support across Industrial, Automotive, Electrical/Electronic, Logistics, and Engineer-to-Order manufacturing.
The role
We are expanding our warehouse management capability in the US, and we are seeking a consultant to lead EWM workstreams on our S/4HANA implementations for discrete manufacturers — from analyzing a client's current warehouse operations, through system design and configuration, to on-site support at go-live. EWM is where SAP meets physical reality and as a trusted advisor to our clients, you will play a key role in establishing EWM as a growing service line within our US operations.
What you will do
- Analyze and map warehouse and logistics processes: inbound and outbound processing, internal movements, physical inventory, and RF-guided execution.
- Run workshops with client logistics teams — translating the physical reality of a warehouse into a system design its operators will actually accept.
- Design and configure SAP EWM (embedded in S/4HANA): storage types and activity areas, warehouse tasks and orders, wave management, and the RF framework.
- Model the warehouse in the system — storage bins and bin structures, staging areas, and work centers — and design the putaway and slotting strategies that decide where every pallet lands.
- Design picking, packing, and shipping: pick-path logic, handling-unit management, packing specifications, and the outbound handoff to carriers and transportation.
- Configure production supply for discrete manufacturers — staging and replenishing components to the line, where EWM meets PP and the shop floor.
- Ensure seamless integration of EWM with MM, PP, and SD to support end-to-end supply chain visibility and process alignment.
- Design and build the RF and print layer — mobile scanning workflows, screen logic, and barcode/label printing — that directly supports day-to-day warehouse operations.
- Write functional specifications, coordinate with our ABAP developers, test, and support go-lives on-site.
- Handle stock data migration and cutover, then support go-lives on-site: hypercare, key-user training, and standing on the shop floor when the first RF gun scans a real pallet.
- Help establish EWM as a service line in our growing US operation.
What you bring
- 3+ years of SAP EWM experience — or strong WM experience with a deliberate move to EWM — including at least one full implementation.
- A real understanding of physical logistics in manufacturing: how goods actually move, and why warehouse staff ignore systems that were designed without them.
- Experience leading workshops and writing functional specifications.
- Strong, proactive communication across functional teams, customers, and partners.
- A bachelor’s degree in supply chain, engineering, computer science, business, or a related field or equivalent experience.
- High degree of professionalism, discretion, sound judgment, and resourcefulness, with the ability to independently navigate situations where established processes or guidance may be limited.
- Active military, transitioning service members, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
Nice to have
- Material Flow System (MFS) or warehouse automation exposure
- SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP EWM (C_EWM_2020 or equivalent)
- SAP TM experience
- Fiori experience
- German and/or Spanish language skills
Travel
Travel to client sites is part of consulting life — typically 30–40%, though it depends on our customers’ needs.
What we offer
- Varied project work with a high level of autonomy, in a growing company and a growing US operation.
- A corporate culture with plenty of freedom, individuality, flat hierarchies, and open communication across all levels.
- Structured development of your personal and specialist skills — including training and certification paths within the international ORBIS group.
- Competitive salary and benefits: medical, dental, life, and short/long-term disability insurance, vacation and sick leave, parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, and tuition assistance.
- This role does NOT provide current or future sponsorship assistance.
